Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today’s conditions at Martin Island aren’t ideal for diving or snorkeling. With swells at 2.3 meters and strong southern winds at 36.7 km/h, the surface is likely choppy. For the best experience, aim for later in the week. Thursday through Saturday look promising, with swells dropping to 1.6-1.7 meters and winds calming down, particularly on Saturday with easterly winds. The ocean temperature around 22°C is comfortable, but a thin wetsuit might be recommended for extended periods in the water. Avoid Tuesday and Wednesday due to increased swell heights and lingering higher winds.

Model

Swell and wind impact diving suitability, but not all swells and winds are equal. A dive site may be protected from wind and swell by nearby geography. The model uses these exposure ratings to determine how much impact a wind and swell will have on the dive site, based on the origin of the winds or waves.
